Alyn Shir

Costume Details

For anyone who wants to create a detailed costume for Alyn Shir cosplayers, here are some close-up stills of her attire. This is for informative purposes only.

3/4 Front Detail

The straps are probably black-dyed, cured animal skin (leather for our world, Trollhide and Dreadscale for the world of Amalur) held by square metal clasps (similar to a belt buckle).

3/4 Back Detail

Two metallic "chotskies" are attached to her right shoulder pauldron. They should be left free to dangle (and probably make noise ...)

Weapon Detail

It should be noted Alyn's daggers are not identified in the Reckoning game, but judging from the scabbard, the crafting "material" is either Iron or Steel. The blades, if they are to be functional (can be drawn out of their scabbards), should be a matching pair. When purchasing or creating such props, be sure to check with your local laws regarding weapons and concealed weapons.

Breastplate and Body Tattoo Detail

The edges in prop form should be soft material, unless you plan on injuring the wearer when they bend over or sit.

Shoe and Legging Detail

It is nearly impossible to aim the camera downwards to examine Alyn's footwear from the top (like a normal person), so creative interpretation will help here. The crimson/red accents on the forepart of her footgear will be an interesting to replicate. Notice that she has red straps around the ankles, to better hold the boots to her feet when she cuts up enemies.

Hair and Make-Up Detail

Check the 3/4 Back Details to see her braidings. Wigs will be the ideal solution for those cosplayers who lack the appropriate length of hair. If Alyn does not wear any earrings; if she does they would be hidden by her hair (and impractical for combat).
